Fleet Tyre Management: The Business Case
For businesses running two or more vehicles in London, tyres are a significant operational cost — and an unmanaged one. Most fleet managers don't think about tyres until there's an emergency: a driver stranded at 7am, a delivery van off the road, a meeting missed because someone couldn't move the car. TyreBlitz fleet tyre management eliminates reactive tyre spending and replaces it with a cost-controlled, proactive programme.
What Fleet Tyre Management Covers
Scheduled Inspections
We visit your premises or depot at agreed intervals to inspect all fleet vehicles. We check:
- Tread depth on all four tyres per vehicle
- Tyre pressure (recorded)
- Visible condition — sidewalls, tread blocks, valve stems
- TPMS sensor status (where applicable)
Each inspection produces a written report with recommended actions and projected replacement timelines. This allows you to budget for tyre costs in advance rather than being hit by unplanned emergency spend.
Scheduled Replacements
Based on inspection results, we plan tyre replacements before vehicles are taken off the road by a failure. Planned replacements are cheaper than emergency ones — because you're buying from planned stock rather than emergency supply, and you're not paying for rapid dispatch.
Emergency Callout Coverage
Despite the best planning, emergencies happen. Fleet customers receive priority dispatch — your vehicles go to the front of the queue. Our 24/7 emergency line (0208 079 1031) is manned around the clock, and drivers can call directly and quote their fleet account for instant service.
Fleet Pricing: How It Works
Fleet customers receive discounted pricing on:
- Tyre supply (volume pricing from manufacturer)
- Fitting fees (reduced per-unit rate for volume)
- Emergency callout (no premium for fleet accounts)
Pricing is agreed upfront based on fleet size and anticipated volume. No surprises.

How Fleet Tyre Management Cuts Costs
The cost savings come from several directions:
- Preventing emergency callouts: Emergency replacements cost 40–60% more than planned ones when you factor in all costs
- Preventing driver downtime: A driver stuck waiting for a tyre replacement costs you their day rate and any revenue they would have generated
- Optimising replacement timing: Replacing at 3mm rather than 1.6mm may seem wasteful, but it reduces the risk of failures — and the total cost of failures is higher than the cost of earlier preventive replacement
- Volume pricing: Buying tyres through an account rather than ad-hoc gets you better prices
